APA Bullshit

I'm not real sure why I play in the APA in a serious capacity. I've played BCA league for years and have had maybe one run-in with another player. Seems to happen on the regular in the APA. I probably have more than my fair share, and the reason is I don't put up with bullshit and bullshit runs rampant in the APA. It's played by people who don't know or don't care about etiquette. The league is what it is and it's not going to change (not that it needs to change) and I need to get out, or at the very least, not be an integral part of a team.

I'm getting tired of the coaching duties as well. I know the game and I can come to a reasonable conclusion as to what the best play is. However, I'm giving advice based on what the best outcome could be if we did it 100 times. So, for teammates to be results oriented over one time (which is what happens) annoys the fuck out of me. They just repeat what else could have been done over and over and fucking over. In all likelihood, my advice is going to give you the best chance to be successful. But, because it's a singular occurrence, you could do the absolute wrong thing and still win/make the shot/get safe/etc. And, likewise, you can do the absolute correct thing and lose. I'm explaining it to them and their response is based on the RESULT of play. I can't have a conversation in which I'm going off of what is expected to happen and you get to go off the results. Cause guess fucking what, I'm probably going to be wrong.

All this pissing and moaning might make one think that we lost, but nope, we won. Now we will be in the next tournament in November. I really don't want to play in this anymore. It's a fucking headache and I'm afraid to lose friends, or weaken a friendship over a game of fucking pool.
